Has anybody seen or had this decal made?

It goes below the bottle loading decal of my Pepsi 81.  I know it's a very small detail.. Does anybody have one? Considering making a few.

I have not seen that, but Maybe I'm not reading it right? I don't get it.

You can load anything on the top 4 shelves... so not quite sure what they are telling you to do...?

I think it is less Technical and more Marketing.  They didn't want you to load anything other than Pepsi in the top 4 shelves.

I agree...I've owned a few Pepsi 81's and the unrestored ones all had this decal, but the racks where no different than a Vendo 81.

Those were my thoughts as well. I'm going to have a few made.

The top rows were reserved for Pepsi only, It was a common demand from bottlers back then, the lower rows were for alternative flavors.

I like the idea of repopping it.

Me too.  Put me down for one if you decide to have some made.
